Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 264



I gave the scholar-sensei one of the e-mail addresses that I left to the captain of Wolf Fang, the one that I dont give to the members of the otherworldly round-table discussion group ISECON, in other words, only to the address that I prepared separately so that important e-mails would not be buried in the mass of e-mail notifications.

Its the kind of thing I tell the person who introduced me to the Swiss bank when I opened my account, aka. the in the country where the gallery cafe [Gold Coin] is located.

Now Ill be in touch if they need anything.

If its urgent, Ill get a text message from the captain on my phone, which I have signed up for under his name, so Ill know as soon as I get back to Earth.

Im frequently returning to Earth.

To be more specific, every time I take a bath or use the bathroom.

No, there are bathrooms and toilets at [General Store Mitsuha], but they are not as good as the ones at home in Japan

Thats why when I go to Earth, I always bring the phone I have as the and the one I borrowed from the captain. Even when Im just going to the bathroom.

If I dont make a habit of it, Ill probably forget about it for days.

Yeah, humans are like that, and I dont trust myself at all!

Ummu

[Anesama, were in trouble!]Sabine

When I went to [General Store Mitsuha], Sabine-chan was waiting for me as usual.

Now that she has the key, shes not in front of the entrance, but on the third floor, playing a game.

And for some reason, the second princess, Chiine-sama, and the second prince, Luchen-kun, were also with her as if its the most natural thing in the world.

Were not a daycare center!

But Sabine-chan seems to be in serious mode.

She was just playing a game to make the best use of her time since she had to wait, but the matter itself seemed to be really important.

[Whats the level?]Mitsuha

[]Sabine

[Seriously?]Mitsuha

When I asked her about the danger level, it also means that Im making sure that its not a joke nor a trivial thing. Thats why Sabine-chan will never lie to me when I ask her something like this. Thats what she promised me. Im pleasedwith the mutual trust between us.

The indicates that the situation is . The number indicates the degree of urgency.

With 6, then its not within the next few days, so theres no need to panic.

And since its in another country, theres probably not much we can do about it because we cant touch it.

on the other hand, means it is a matter of our own country, means that it is a matter of multiple countries or continents including our own country, and means that it is more than that. It is a matter of humanitys survival. So even if the urgency is high right now, its still just another countrys matter.

Well, at least, at the moment its about the other countries, but it could come to our country next.

Invasions from major powers, runaway stampede of monsters, plague outbreaks, etc

[Give me the details!]Mitsuha

To my instructions, Sabine-chan explained in serious mode.

However, the second princess, Chiine-sama, and the second prince, Luchen-kun, are indifferent and continue playing the game with sweets in their mouths.

Are you guys serious? Both of you who are above Sabine-chan in the line of succession to the throne!

[The Empire is on the move. Checkpoints were tightened at the borders and city gates of the citadel, movement of territorial soldiers, and the flow of food and other military supplies]Sabine

Yeah, its your typical war preparation.

And the in Sabine-chans story is, of course, that.

That that invaded this country with three elder dragons from way back when.

[But theyve been hit hard by the recoil of their failed invasion of our country, so they should still not be able to do that now, right?

For the time being, we have to reorganize the army, replenish the armors that were broken, begin stockpiling the food and water, and recover the huge budget that was squandered]Mitsuha

[So, why not aim for a big reversal in order to solve them all at once? Only the needy people who have no end to make bad bets, right?]Sabine

[Ah]Mitsuha

Im convinced.

Indeed, those who are wealthy and have the upper hand do not take that could cost them everything.

[Also, their next target is not us]Sabine

Yeah, right, who would be stupid enough to go after us again after seeing the results of the last time?

Besides, with all their preparations along with monsters and elder dragons, they lost so completely, so Im sure they havent completely recovered from their tattered state yet.

In addition, after the last surprise attack, we and the neighboring countries are not neglecting our precautions. Im sure that all countries have dispatched counterintelligence and weeds (locally settled spies).

Modern Earth aside, it would be impossible to make a surprise attack when the other side is on alert in this world.

There was no way they could hide the movement of thousands of soldiers, the collection and transportation of military supplies, and so on. It takes time to move.

[So, where are they aiming at? The level is C-6, which means its another country, right?]Mitsuha

[Yes, based on the movement of supplies and troops, its probably the Kingdom ofDarrisson.]Sabine

[The Kingdom of Darrisson?]Mitsuha

The name of the country sounded familiar somehow.

[Kingdom of Darrisson, Kingdom of Darrisson]Mitsuha

[Its the first country we went on a trip together!]Sabine

[Eh Oh, the country of Princess Gegege!!]Mitsuha(TN: Its because of how the princess laughs.)

Oh yeah, Im pretty sure thats what its called, that country.

[His Majesty the King is sick, and His Highness the crown prince is still young. Remia-chan, who has a lower succession than the prince, is in charge, but in such a situation, the political situation seems to be unstable]Sabine

As Sabine-chan says, its almost certainly a pattern of .

However.

[[Wasnt that already over~!]]

Yes, it was over at that time.

I think the story of the purge at that time is naturally known to many countries, but I wonder if they thought that the seeds of such a rebellion would appear one after another, or that the country would be rattled because they cut off a number of key people in the government and military, or that the nobles would be antagonistic to the royalty Princess Remia.

Well, other countries may not know about the , so I didnt know that there were few nobles and soldiers in that country that would want to betray Her Highness

His Highness, the King of this kingdom, showed a bold act of royalty. My countrys expression of support for His Highness personally and my personal promise of as a friend.

At the moment, the loyalty of the people of that country to Her Highness Princess Remia is quite high, including the nobility and the military.

Its the Alder Empire who is rattling around in the country.

Well, thats what you call a reckless act of aggression, I guess

The last battle left their military in tatters.

It was too one-sided a defeat.

The total destruction of their airborne cavalry wyverns and their monster army, which had been trained with all of the countrys power for years.

Anger and disappointment of the people.

Many high-ranking officers who had gone to war with the hope of winning the war and gaining honor and rewards were killed in battle or were captured as prisoners of war, causing a loss of honor, and the financial situation deteriorated due to the large ransom.

And finally, the rejection to join the , a group of countries that have signed military agreements under the Grand Treaty.

The is an alliance against foreign enemies and invasions from other continents, and while we will cooperate in the joint development of weapons and military exercises, we will not be involved in conflicts between nations within the continent.It would be good if they could form a cooperative relationship without permission by a separate treaty by each country.

So even if you are not a member of the , there is no problem as there is nothing different from the past when it comes to things within this continent.

Ostensibly.

However, no one is stupid enough to seriously believe such a proposition. At least, not among the politicians.

A revolutionary new weapon developed jointly the countries.

Mutual cooperation and assistance as members of the same alliance.

Refused membership in an alliance that most of the other leading nations in the region have joined, a single nation is left alone, armed only with outdated weapons.

In addition, the country was branded as a and a . On top of that

[The country is in shambles, politically unstable, tight financial situation, and public sentiment is at its worst So, I guess theyre trying to take another shot at it

You can laugh at their stupidity all you want, though you cant help but understand the feelings of those who have no other choice but to take a gamble knowing its stupid]Mitsuha

Sabine-chan nodded at my words.

No, its not that there arent other ways, such as bowing down to other countries and making individual treaties or agreements with each member of the Grand Alliance that put them above the others.

But that would mean that the very foundation of their empire, which until now had maintained its position through high-handed diplomacy using military power as a shield, would be undermined, and they would become subordinate to other countries. For the rulers, aristocrats, and the military of an empire that had prided itself on being a powerful nation, that would not be acceptable.

So their thoughts and judgments have nothing to do with nor take into account the wishes and happiness of the general public.

It cant be helped Thats the way the world works
